I went out with a showgirl. The first time we went out, we met at the BLVD Cocktail Company. It was busy and loud, but actually a perfect place. I don't really like the LINQ very much, it reminds me too much of Downtown Disney or the Irvine Spectrum, but this place is worth checking out.
The reason I wanted to go out with this particular showgirl, despite my personal ban on all women who dance for a living, was the way she talked about Boulevardiers (there were tons of other things actually, but this was the thing that caught my attention and really won me over). And what better place to get a Boulevardier than BLVD? We showed up at 12:30 AM. Live music. Packed.
BLVD makes their Boulevardiers with a chocolate bitters that really rounds out the rye in a way that makes it sinfully delicious and smooth. Garnished with a cherry, it's a treat.
My first round was a Dry Manhattan made to perfection and served by a lovely model/cocktail waitress who was very attentive.
At one point, we had an uninvited guest. His name was Phil. I thought he was with my date at first, but it turned out he was just a passing reveler. He drunkenly complimented us, saying I have an awesome shirt and that we look like a great couple. Then he disappeared into the night, leaving a $10 beer on our tab. Our model/cocktail waitress happily deleted it.
I hope to visit this place again soon.
I went on a second date with the showgirl. It was even better than the first. Then it fell apart. Personal ban: back on.

The personal ban is on all bar/restaurant people and arts/entertainment people.
I almost never live by it because everyone else is boring, and I only know restaurant people, artists, and entertainers.
So It's mostly just a fake ban like when we had sanctions on Iraq.
